NEW SERIES ON WOMEN'S SPIRITUALITY! -- "Called To Holiness: Spirituality for Catholic Women"

Be on the lookout for eight important volumes written for all Christian women. There are volumes for young women, women in mid-life and women in their wisdom years; volumes on how to make a difference in the world; how to grow in prayer; how to become a "grassroots theologian"; as well as volumes on Latina spirituality and marriage and family. Published by St. Anthony Messenger Press. General Editor, Elizabeth A. Dreyer. Associate Editor, Jean Marie Hiesberger. Read one or all of them on your own...or better still, gather a group of women together in a parish or your home to read, discuss, engage in ritual, learn and grow in the spiritual life.

Holy Power, Holy Presence: Rediscovering Medieval Metaphors for the Holy Spirit (Paulist Press, 2007).

This volume explores the neglected third person of the Trinity by examining the language, imagery and metaphors for the Spirit used by our ancestors in the faith. Dreyer sees the Spirit as crucial to the spiritual evolution and power of the laity in the 21st century, and taps male and female medieval religious voices to light the way. In the hands of these medieval authors, the Holy Spirit becomes kiss, waiter at table, reconciler, bond of love, God’s green thumb, fire, music, source of unity, intelligent Christian living and prophetic voice.
